Angeli’s Pizzeria.

Located in Baltimore’s historic Little Italy, Angeli’s Pizzeria stands out in a neighborhood famous for classic red-sauce joints by blending traditional Italian-American fare with a distinct New Orleans influence. While the main draw is the thin-crust, New York-style pizza, the family-owned menu is surprisingly layered, offering Southern-inflected dishes alongside standard parlor classics. The vibe is casual and old-school, functioning as both a neighborhood takeout staple and a lively dine-in spot. Beyond the pies, the bar program is a major draw for locals, particularly famous for serving what many consider the best espresso martini in the city. It is a reliable, unpretentious stop whether you are dropping in for a quick slice or settling in with a cocktail.
